Forest Green Rovers have overturned a one-goal deficit to lead Woking 2-1 at half time in their Conference Premier fixture.

The home side had the better of the early stages at The New Lawn with Danny Coles getting a header on target that was dealt with by Ross Worner.

Shortly after the quarter-hour mark, the breezy conditions almost helped Marcus Kelly score directly from a corner but against the run of play, Forest Green fell behind on 22 minutes.

Dean Morgan picked up the ball on the edge of the penalty area before turning sharply and firing into the bottom corner for his eighth goal of the campaign.

Chances remained at a premium but nine minutes before the break, Forest Green equalised through Jon Parkin, who reacted fastest following a goalmouth scramble to direct the ball past Worner.

Moments later, Parkin almost netted his second with a well-struck volley but Rovers ensured that they reached half time with a slender advantage when Luke Oliver powered a header into the bottom corner.
